I have 0 problem with peaceful protests.

What we saw in the past 72 hours at Columbia and UCLA are absolutely not peaceful protests.

but the protest was peaceful at UCLA. Then a mob attacked them in the middle of last night while the cops stood by. Then this morning the cops - decline May 2, 12:52 [Image] 24

  - The 'administration' wasn't trying to de-escalate anything. Shafik was suspending and kicking kids out of school and had the cops come in and arrest -- (edited) - decline May 2, 13:08 6

      - It's a picture of people holding up signs. So, yes? - David May 2, 14:29
    - Is this an example of a peaceful protest that should be allowed to happen? -- (link) - Strongbad May 2, 13:55
    - And I do agree partially with what you're saying - Strongbad May 2, 13:38
    - Actually they were negotiating for... over a week? -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 13:22
  - Can't let you whatabout your way out of this. You are a liar, as I pointed out just now. Go find something else to lie about please. -- nm - con_carne May 2, 13:07 3
    - Yes, it's obviously the Jews fault for... existing? I guess? -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 13:09
    - Come on, ST. Let's please remain courteous to one another. -- nm - David May 2, 13:08 1
      - this. -- nm - Beaker 🍻 May 2, 13:10
  - Litter and sneaking into a public building don't strike me as the essential conversation topics here. - David May 2, 13:04 5
    - I have a very hard time calling anyone advocating for Global Intifada as a "peaceful protest" -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 13:22 3
      - That's your choice, but these people are asking for the stoppage of murder of Palestinian children. Why aren't we *all* asking for that? - David May 2, 13:26 2
        
        One side is advocating for extermination of the other. - Strongbad May 2, 13:30 1
        
        Our old friend duke fleed had been sending me footage of this for five years now. Bibi is the monster here. And that's on brand for him. - David May 2, 13:33
    - Ok. -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 13:07
- Right. It's victim-blaming and intentionally missing the point of what's happening. -- nm - David May 2, 12:53 5
  - there’s enough blame to go around. too many demonstrators are either hopelessly naive or actually pro-Hamas in their “peaceful” rhetoric - hollywood big shot May 2, 12:57 4
    - Yes, same as with Occupy Wall Street. Kids get into this stuff without clear ideas about achievable goals. -- nm - David May 2, 13:02 3

        This sounds like "Ahh! The radical Muslims are coming to get us!" -- nm - Inigo May 2, 13:45
        
        That doesn't pass the laugh test for me. Reagen, Mr. Logic, do you agree or disagree? -- nm - David May 2, 13:43
